Welcome.

Take a moment and do one thing before you keep reading.

Close your eyes, take a breath, and remember what a moment of real rest feels like—whatever that means for you.

Great, that should get you a few minutes of serenity. I’d like to invite you to treat our time together like a peaceful escape to a place where you can mentally sneak away for as much time in your day or your week as you have room for.

What’s here?

This is a good place to start so you have a moment to get into the right headspace to begin to develop your own path to a break. There are a ton of approaches, which can feel exhilarating or daunting – or sometimes both. But you can do this.

You deserve this.

And together we are going to explore what’s possible.

On this site you’ll find a few things over time:

• blog. – This is, after all, a blog about how to take a break. That’s the foundation of the page
• Resources – How to begin the process, helpful articles, and tools to stay organized
• Stories & Interviews – Insights from people who have taken the plunge
• The Question Box – A little corner to just ask something you’ve been wondering about the process

Whether you are dreaming, planning, packing, or already out the door, there’s something here for you.

You’ll find tips from our own career break, tools to help you plan yours, stories from other “breakers,” and a whole lot of encouragement.
